About Crystal

I was in retail for years until I got tired of it so I went with no experience applying around the area at senior care facilities and found my current job, I was hired on the spot, became a medication tech within months and have been here for almost two years. Working here has made me realize how much I really want to be in the medical field and how much I want to help people which Is why I am now currently going to school to be an RN. I love my residents and the people I work with and for but I need a little more pay to support myself and my family so its time to move on.

    I believe the things that makes me an excellent caregiver is my empathy and history with disabilities. My father was diagnosed with Parkinson disease when I was 8 years old and diagnosed with alzeimers when I was 13-14. I spent most of my time from the age of 8 learning how to care for my father and keeping him active. The thing I most enjoy about being a caregiver is the fact that it makes a difference in someone's life. It can make somebody's day if they have company. Daily activities aren't so stressful and it can help seniors feel comfortable. Lastly, A personal achievement I'm proud of is my time in the navy with 2 deployments.
